# How to create trading bots

Creating trading robots

There are two ways to create trading robots. Whalinvest offers to automatically create them for you, but you can also create robots manually.

## **Automatically**

**We’ll pick the most lucrative pairs** according to the performances calculated by our **simulator**.

1️⃣ On the Whalinvest home page, click on the *+ Add a bag* button.

1️⃣ Select a **pair**. You can check out the Ranking page which lists the best **performing** settings according to our **simulator**. You can also head over to the [Whalinvest Discord](https://discord.com/invite/Exm77EV) to discuss with the community !

2️⃣ Select an **amount** you want to allocate to this robot. **Only the allocated amount will be invested**.

3️⃣ Select a **sampling interval**. This corresponds to the **regularity** at which your robot will **analyze the exchange price**. A shorter interval will make your robot more sensitive to market fluctuations and take more risks.

4️⃣ Select a **profit management method**. Ex : with a robot working on the **EGLD / USDT** pair: Accumulate **USDT** : Trade **profits are kept as USDT**. Some of it can be reinvested.\
Accumulate **EGLD** : Trade **profits are kept as EGLD**. None of which will be reinvested.

5️⃣ (Optionnal) Different stop loss options are available :\
**Standard** : This option is **risky** and intended **for people who are familiar with stop losses**. It is triggered when a specified loss percentage is reached.\
**Initial trade amount protection** : a *stop limit* order is placed to protect your initial investment when your position exceeds a specified profit percentage.<br>

6️⃣ Select a **Whalinvest trading strategy**. Click the button on the right to view the **estimated performance** of each strategy using your configuration.
